What are some examples of asexual reproduction?
Binary fission, which takes place in the simplest cells known as Prokaryotes, which include bacteria, is one instance of asexual reproduction.
Most bacteria reproduce exponentially, mainly through binary fission, in which the parent cell splits 'in two' to create two daughter cells that are genetically identical.
Asexual reproduction is known as mitosis in Eukaryotes, which are higher organisms on the evolutionary scale (and more recent). Examples of mitosis include:
plant cells that divide as a tree root grows longer;
Because the cells in your skin undergo both asexual and mitotic division, they are constantly "shedding" (having a high turnover rate).
The tails of reptiles known as anoles, which are commonly found in Florida, can regrow after a predator bites off a portion of them. This process is known as mitosis.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
